100% expected.

Yup. And while it's bad for the 9th, not for the rest of us. This case would not have turned out well at the Supremes. Wrong case at the wrong time.

For an explanation of why the Supremes stayed out of this, try this National Review Article.

"... Wrong case at the wrong time."

That's what they always say about RKBA cases targeted towards the USSC.

There never will be a 'right case/right time' for RKBA, even if we were to engineer an elaborate legal trap.

The sooner any definitive ruling is given the better.

They will never make a ruling. If it were an honest one, the lefties would stop inviting them to parties. If a treasonous one, it would finally be open season.

I agree, you are right! There are stronger cases out there, and the possibility of a friendlier Supreme Court in the future.

Don't forget the New Orleans Circuit ruling is still out there.

Looks like we need a case similar to Roe vs Wade, using the Congressional Report Neil posted here to get around the Doctrine of Non-Incorporation, and blanketing all states with the Second Amendment. Argue the 'assault' configurations later.

Quote from Freeper the gillman@blacklagoon.com:

The best case in the history of the world will not move the SCOTUS if they insist on treason.

The worst case would not matter if they insisted on the truth.
